    I live in Ohio but my new Tundra will rarely see the winter roads here. We will drive my wife’s SUV when the weather gets crappy. It’s leased. Lol! My plans for the Tundra are to drive it for the next 10+ years and probably only around 5k miles a year. It’s mainly a tow vehicle for our travel trailer. My past history with Tundra ownership runs the gamut of frame issues….from absolutely no problems to total frame replacement. Did Toyota ever address the frame rust issue (better paint/coating/grade of steel) on the later models or just keep the status quo? I had my old 4Runner (2010) WoolWaxed last year to prevent any “further” rust. My son has it now. Since my Tundra will essentially not be exposed to a lot of salt, slush and rain would it still be a good idea, given my 10+ years of planned ownership, to spend the $180 for this protection?

    I used to do fluid film in the past. However, this year I am going to give PB Blaster Surface Shield a try after seeing some positive review on YouTube. I will still apply Fluid Film inside of the frame rails, since PB Blaster doesn't make the crevice/wand attachment yet.

    I am not understanding why this post was moved to “detailing” instead of General Discussion. The Moderator must have seen the word “WoolWax” in the title and assumed it meant a wax applied for the paint appearance.
